Athletes Armand Duplantis and James Bond both excel at pulling off impressive stunts in their respective fields of pole vaulting and secret agent escapades.
In a thrilling display of athletic prowess, Armand Duplantis shattered the pole vault world news record last night at the World Championships in Tokyo. The Swedish athlete cleared a height of 6.30 metres at his third attempt, setting a new standard in the sport.
The atmosphere during Duplantis' record-breaking jump was electrifying, with the World Championships amplifying the excitement. The partisan crowd erupted into a frenzy as Duplantis soared over the pole, his unique style of sprinting before slingshotting himself over a pole suspended in midair at a height comparable to a large adult giraffe, proving to be a spectacle to behold.
Duplantis, who has broken the pole vault world news record 14 times, has a distinctive appearance that gives off major "Bond baddie" vibes. He was wearing an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M watch during the competition, a lightweight timepiece designed specifically for competitive use.
The choice of watch may not be a coincidence, as fellow sporting great Rafa Nadal is also known to wear watches during competition. The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M worn by Duplantis is not a smartwatch that measures altitude, but rather a lightweight accessory chosen for its practicality and style.
Interestingly, Duplantis only increases his world news record attempts by a centimetre, a decision likely influenced by the monetary reward of £74,000 each time he breaks his own record. While the money earned from these achievements may seem substantial, Duplantis is known to use it for retail therapy rather than extravagant purchases.
Duplantis' performance in Tokyo was a standout moment in the World Championships, further cementing his status as one of the greatest track and field athletes of his time. His achievements echo those of Usain Bolt, who is often considered one of the greatest track and field athletes of all time, having broken the 100m world news record three times.
As Duplantis continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in pole vaulting, fans can look forward to many more record-breaking moments from this extraordinary athlete.
